Alaska Fly-Fishing Expedition Different risks associated with the expeditionWeather conditions: the dates are fixed and with bad weather the expedition can become more challenging and not as rewarding as the customer is looking for. A lot of wind and rain may also cause a lot of other problems such as electronic devices being unusable, complicating setting up tents and so on. Medical/Health conditions: the people the customer is bringing may not be suited or prepared physically or mentally for the expedition. From my understanding the expedition requires a given level of stamina and health, as well as being able to cope with sleeping ”outside” Provide fishing guides: four experienced guides who are also fly-fishermen seem very specific and might be hard to deliver. When accomplished we rely on these four not being sick. Should have at least one extra stand-by (contingency planning)Air transportation: since this part of the expedition is outsourced we have less control over it, and therefore I would consider it a risk due to being on time and prepared for the trip.Laws and approvals from state: Laws considering nature reserves and population of wild animals and fish may play a part, and might restrict the ability to fly-fish and bring motored vessels into the Tikchik River system as well as restricted camping options.2.
